One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 317 Sky Island

His gaze fell upon the pair of outstretched wings on Urki's back, wings that shone brilliantly in the sunlight. In that instant, Bruno realized—in the entire world, only the legendary Sky Island inhabitants possessed wings!

Considering that Aini was carrying Urki and flying into the sky in such an unusual way, the answer is obvious—they must be heading to the Sky Island!

The thought filled Bruno with an irrepressible excitement. Sky Island—a legendary place shrouded in mystery!

Who wouldn't yearn for such a place?

Without hesitation, he thrust his legs forward, launching himself into the air like an arrow. Then, he skillfully employed the Moonwalk technique, gliding through the air as if on flat ground, relentlessly pursuing Aini, who was carrying Ulki.

The Sky Island is like a mysterious realm, suspended high above the White Sea, which itself is located 7000 meters above sea level. In this seemingly boundless white sea, the air becomes extremely thin, as if it were a place completely isolated from the world on the ground.

For people accustomed to the environment of Qinghai, such an altitude is undoubtedly a huge challenge.

Here, the scarcity of oxygen significantly reduces people's physical abilities and increases the burden on their bodies.

Just like Bruno was experiencing at that moment, even though he was only at an altitude of 6000 meters, he was already feeling a bit out of breath.

His expression darkened slightly; his body's instincts told him he should stop and not go any further.

However, when he saw that Aini was still rising, a sense of resentment welled up inside him. Aini seemed completely unaffected by the thin air, continuing to ascend with ease.

Bruno gritted his teeth, deciding to push his limits once again. He took several steps in the air, his entire body rising rapidly like an arrow released from a bow. This was completely different from riding a boat up with the ocean current; this method required immense physical strength and skill.

When they finally reached the White Sea, Bruno was panting heavily, and a fine layer of sweat even appeared on his forehead. Clearly, this journey had been quite physically demanding for him.

The thin air clearly caused him to expend far more energy.

He was panting, his gaze fixed on Aini.

Aini's face remained calm, without the slightest flush or panting, as if all of this was an easy task for him. His expression was relaxed and natural, as if he felt no pressure from the altitude and thin air.

Bruno's gaze slowly swept over Aini in front of him, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.

His lips twitched involuntarily, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "As expected, a monster is a monster!"

However, at that moment, Aini's attention was suddenly drawn to the old woman standing near the Gates of Heaven not far away.

Aini gazed at her, a sense of familiarity welling up within him. Having read the original story, he knew perfectly well who this old woman was.

She is Amazon, the monitor of the Skypiea Heaven's Gate. When the Straw Hat crew arrived at the Skypiea Heaven's Gate, she hinted in an ambiguous manner that they could be exempted from the entry fee.

However, behind this seemingly well-intentioned act lies a sinister trap.

Once the Straw Hat crew enters the Sky Island, Amazon will secretly contact the divine soldiers and priests, requesting them to pursue these uninvited guests. And the camera she always carries is no ordinary camera; it's a tool specifically designed to photograph lawbreakers.

Aini cursed inwardly. This Amazon was the epitome of entrapment! She exploited people's greed and wishful thinking, setting up such a trap to easily lure those who were unaware of the situation.

Entering the country illegally (without paying the fee) is subject to severe penalties, with fines up to 10 times the original amount, not including the original amount.

Originally, each person only needed to pay 10 billion Extoruals, equivalent to 10 Berries in Blue Ocean currency. But because of Amazon's calculations, the fine instantly skyrocketed to 110 million Berries!

This is so dark!

This is only a secondary problem. What's worse is that once they are being pursued, those who are unaware of the situation will instinctively retaliate.

When you are forced to retaliate, you will face far more than just a hefty fine. Instead, you will suffer divine punishment, which, given Aini's strength, is almost certainly a death sentence.

In other words, if Luffy and his crew hadn't been strong enough, they probably would have already lost their lives.

No... I should say that if Luffy's ability hadn't been a perfect counter to Enel's, the Straw Hat crew would have been wiped out here.

That old woman is a demon!

She was incredibly ruthless towards people she had just met, relentlessly pushing them to their deaths.

Therefore, Aini's disgust for this old woman ran deep in her bones.

After all, anyone who encounters such a villain who deliberately seeks to kill others would feel extreme disgust.

Just then, Amazon also noticed someone approaching.

Her gaze, sharp as a hawk's, instantly locked onto Urki.

However, to her surprise, it was Urki who appeared before her! Clearly, she had not expected to meet Urki here at all.

Then, Amazon's gaze slowly shifted to Aini and Bruno. When her eyes fell on them, her brows furrowed involuntarily.

Urki is a renowned powerhouse among the Angels, and his strength is considered top-tier.

So many years have passed, his abilities must have improved even more.

More importantly, he actually had the audacity to come back.

You must know that he was banished to Qinghai back then, and if he were to return, he would surely face severe divine punishment.

Does this mean that Urki has enough confidence to face the gods?

Or rather, he had found a way to deal with God.

Her gaze fell on Aini and Bruno, her eyes filled with scrutiny, as if trying to see right through them!

Aini, however, walked over.

Amazon's lips curled into a sly smile as she slowly said, "Each person pays 10 billion Extors, which is equivalent to 10 Berries in Blue Ocean currency. Of course, you can choose not to pay."

Upon hearing this, Aini's face instantly darkened, and he cursed inwardly, "Isn't this blatantly trying to trap me?!"

Although he was not afraid of Enel, how could he possibly swallow such a blatant and devastating scam?

Aini abruptly turned his head, staring intently at Amazon, a cold glint in his eyes, and asked coldly, "What will be the consequences if we don't pay?"
